WHY YOU MUST BECOME FLUENT IN A SECOND LANGUAGE
Humans and animals express POWER through open, expansive body language.
A chimpanzee asserts his dominance by pushing out his chest. In a boardroom, the executive leans back into their chair and seems to use the space around them.
New scientific research has discovered that these ‘power poses’ also produce feelings of power.
Body Language
A study at Columbia and Harvard universities found when 42 participants were asked to either hold a power pose or a contractive, low-power pose for 2 minutes that the power poses stimulated hormones linked to feelings of power. It also the stress hormone cortisol.
Plus, high-power posers reported feeling significantly more “powerful” and “in charge” than low-power posers did – allowing them to perform better.
